I struggle to accept I destroyed my body at 18

3 months ago 35

When I was 18, I picked up running as a hobby only to get injured in my right foot. The pain never went away, and it eventually developed into arthritis. I was eventually diagnosed with arthritis by several doctors, and they told me it was my fault for causing my injury. There is no treatment available. I can’t even walk or stand without severe pain, and it hurts I am basically disabled in my 20s. I can’t hold a job anymore. It kills me to know if I just didn’t run at 18 years old, I would still be healthy. All of this was completely preventable, and this is what makes it so hard for me to accept
